Lance Berkman's slugging is an obvious career outlier, but it may not be ridiculous to assert that it's partially due to hitting behind Pujols and Holliday, neither a slouch. His BABIP tells us he's getting a few more breaks, but combined with a higher OBP and a lower walk rate, a glance at his shockingly lower strikeout rate shows that he's getting better pitches, still seeing the ball well, and hitting the gaps.
